BITOR(n1,n2)

where $n1$ and $n2$ specify the numeric values on which the bitwise OR operation is to be performed.

Description

BITOR() returns the result of bitwise OR operation performed on numeric values.
$n1$ and $n2$ must be in decimal form and greater or equal to '0'.
Each bit is set to 1 if the corresponding bit is either $n1$ or $n2$ is 1. The bit is set to 0 only if the corresponding bit is 0 in both $n1$ and $n2$ .
If either argument is a non-numeric value, BITOR returns the #VALUE! error value.

For Example,

BITOR(1,6) = 7 (The binary representation of 1 is 1, and the binary representation of 6 is 110. Result is returned as 7 i.e 111.

BITOR(true, true) = 1 (Bit AND value of 'true' is '1'. Hence result is 1.)
